I don't have the answers. I am not the BEST organizer. In fact, I know that I can be wrong a lot! What I DO know is that organizing is hard (even for organized people). It takes work and motivation.
My blog is meant to INSPIRE you, and maybe give you some insight that you can use within your own life. I hope to share things that work for me - with the hope that things will be be better for YOU! Enjoy!

I don’t know about you somewhere around August 1st I get this funny twinge in my belly. It's that little reminder that the school year is approaching.

We are bombarded with advertisements and TV advertisements... it's just enough to drive you nuts. It's no wonder people feel overwhelmed.

No matter what you’re feeling,
being prepared for the back to school transition can take that stress out of the household and perhaps be an enjoyable time for you and your student! HINT:
It’s never too early to get organized for school.

Here’s a great punch list to get your started
for your organized school year:

__ Get the school supply list from your school is the first
step. Most will post the school supply list on their website or sometimes they can be found at your local school supply retailers.

__ Check
your clothing inventory andsee what’s
hanging in the closet. The
new school year is a great time to clear out the clothes that are too small,
too worn or just plain shabby! And don't forget to check the shoes!

__ Routines
= happy students! Setting up routines at
home can give your students a solid structure to thrive during the school year. Start your morning
routines now! A consistent
wake up time and a balanced meal is a great way to start the day.

__ Planning
ahead. School calendars should
already be available to parents. Get your students 2014-15 school schedules
loaded into your calendar or the family calendar right away. It will make
planning after school activities so much easier when you know what their
schedule will be.
